Tho FUoc, of Goscbeu's Defeat.

lBy Anglo-American cable To the Dispatch.l
LONDON, January 26.-The defeat OF
GoSchen is felt by the members of the
Carlton Club to be great party disas-
ter. All the clubs were crowded Mt a
late hour tonight, and there was much
excitement over the result of the cleo
ton. The members of the National
Liberal Club are jubilant. The absence
of Goschen from the House of Com
mons leaves the Governmentinan awk-
ward position. Even if he should be
provided with an uncOntested seat
he cant sit in the House for
the next ten days, and during
that period there will probably
be critical debates and divisions. 1t Is
reported that Sir John Mowbray is
ready to resign his seat in the House OF
Commons for Oxford University, and
that he will be raised to the peerage.
If he does resign the Liberals will con
test the seat, though they have no
chance of success. The GfadstOneltes
have not yet decided what shall be their
line of action on the address in reply
to the Queens speech. They will meet
Friday to determine Intercourse. The
Parnellites will move an amendment to
the address if Gladstone fails to do SO.

LONDON. January 26.-Mr. Cham
herlain writes to the Times Mt conside-

of the adaptation of the Canadian Con
stitution to Ireland. In concluding
Mr.. Chamberlain says he never pre-
tended that the Canadian Constitution
could be bodily transferred so as to
settle the relations of Ireland and Great
Britain. The exact nature of an
adaptation which would be suitable for
the wants of Ireland is one of the
questions on which he hopes that further
discussion will throw light.
Mr.. Gladstone, writing to Glasgow
paper, says there are many circum-
stantial differences between the cases of
Canada and Ireland, but within and UNI
der them there is a strong analogy. In
the main they have the same friends
and foes. Toryism has not supported
